The Beginning of Goodbye

Genghis eats well, wants his treats and is drinking water but he coughs a lot, a husky dry long coughing spell The vet said he has heart failure, got pills for him Another appointment in a month When he coughs I hold him head up high and it seems to help He seems frustrated when he wants to bark at Sassy and Kublia for having too much fun and he ends up coughing Ruins his little bossy image Last night after he started coughing I picked up the little fellow and placed him on my chest he slept well. I forget when he came to me, I think he's fourteen I was hoping he could make sixteen healthy I got Sassy cause I knew my boys time was not long She will help the pain of losing one or both Sassy is a ball of energy yet still shy Kublia is my big cotton ball fuzzy wuzzy who is really fuzzy and plump Genghis is a special dog One whose personality dominates I never had anything ever love me as much is that little dog and I love him too. He is obsessed with me and does not want to share me Always in the window watching for my return Always welcoming me with cries of joy standing on his hind legs with his front paws spread to hug me I spoiled him rotten and he spoiled me I will miss him so But I am grateful to have him for a little while longer The beginning of goodbye Genghis such a cute little long tail, long leg, big perky ears long hair, cute snot black dog with deep brown eyes and large black pupils that see right through you Who you barking at? In heaven he will give the angels fits I know he will be watching for me Genghis my spoiled dog, heaven will love you.
